Product details

EVF8222-E | Lenze 8200 Series Three-Phase Frequency Inverter

EVF8222-E is a three-phase frequency inverter from the Lenze 8200 family, 8220 range. It delivers 22.0 kW rated motor power with a 150% overload design for 60 s. It suits standard industrial drive tasks. The unit supports V/f control with auto boost. It also offers selectable Flux Torque Control (FTC) for motor current regulation. This drive is a legacy model. Lenze lists the order code in previous-products documentation. Newer drive generations supersede it. Last verified: 2026-10. Audit status: OFFICIAL_VERIFIED.

Installation Guide

Mount the drive vertically on a solid panel. Keep IP20 clearance for airflow.
Connect 3/PE AC 320 to 528 V supply. Match 45 to 65 Hz line frequency.
Wire control signals to terminals X1/X2. Use shielded cable for setpoints.
Fit an attachable communication module only when fieldbus control is needed.
Keep motor cable short. This limits noise and protects the 150% overload margin.
Respect the +40 °C limit. Above it, apply 2.5% derating per K up to +50 °C.

Commissioning and Maintenance

Set the V/f curve first. Enable auto boost for low-speed torque.
Switch to FTC when stable current control matters more than simplicity.
Pick 4, 8, 12 or 16 kHz chopper frequency. Higher settings cut motor noise.
Check the 640 W heat loss. Plan cabinet ventilation before startup.
Clean air paths at each service interval. Confirm fan operation and terminal torque.
Store spare units between -25 and +55 °C. Keep them dry and condensation-free.

Compatibility Notes

Works with 4-pole asynchronous motors rated 22.0 kW at 3 AC 400 V.
Accepts pluggable LECOM and bus modules through the expansion slot.
No integrated fieldbus as standard. Add a module for host communication.
Fits Lenze 8200 cabinet layouts. Check space for 350 × 250 × 250 mm.
Legacy status applies. Confirm spare-part supply before new machine designs.

Expert Review

The EVF8222-E earns respect for one reason: honest overload headroom. A full 150% for 60 s covers heavy starts without oversizing. V/f with auto boost keeps setup simple. FTC adds current control when loads vary. The 640 W loss figure is realistic, so plan cooling early. The IP20 body fits inside cabinets, not on open floors. Buyers should note the legacy status. Stock spares now. For retrofit work, this drive remains a practical match to existing 8200 cabinets.

Manager’s Insight

Treat this unit as a proven workhorse, not a cutting-edge platform. The 22.0 kW rating and 47.0 A nominal output cover common pump, fan and conveyor duties. The pluggable module slot protects your fieldbus choice. No integrated bus keeps the base cost down. The 12.5 kg body and 350 × 250 × 250 mm frame simplify panel swaps. My advice: confirm motor data, then order. Lead times stay short at 12 to 24 hours. Questions? Write to sales@powergearx.com or message +86 18030005825 on WhatsApp.

Best-Fit Equipment and Applications

Pumps with moderate starting torque
Fans and ventilation units in factory buildings
Conveyors in standard material handling lines
Mixers and agitators with steady duty cycles
Retrofit projects replacing older 8200 drives
Cabinet builds needing IP20 protection and module-based bus control

FAQ

Is this drive new or legacy?
- It is a legacy Lenze model. Official documentation still lists the order code. Newer generations replace it. Plan spares accordingly.
Can I run it without a communication module?
- Yes. Terminals X1/X2 handle setpoints and digital signals. Add a module only for fieldbus control.
What overload can it take?
- It handles 150% rated current for 60 s. Peak output reaches 70.5 A for that window.
How do I pick a chopper frequency?
- Start at 8 kHz. Raise to 12 or 16 kHz for quieter motors. Drop to 4 kHz for longer cables or cooler operation.
Does ambient heat matter?
- Yes. Full rating applies to +40 °C. Between +40 and +50 °C, derate 2.5% per K.
From experience, what fails first in retrofits?
- Cooling paths. Dust blocks airflow and raises internal heat. Clean the cabinet before you swap the drive.
How fast does it ship?
- Orders leave in 12 to 24 hours. FedEx, UPS and DHL handle delivery.
